ICPC Probes North East NAssembly Members over Diversion of Constituency Projects Funds

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has launched an investigation into allegations of diversion of constituency projects funds by some members of the National Assembly from the North East region.

According to sources, the ICPC received a petition from a concerned citizen alleging that some lawmakers from the region diverted funds meant for constituency projects to personal use.

The ICPC has since invited some of the affected lawmakers to explain their roles in the alleged diversion of funds. The commission has also requested documents and evidence to support the allegations.

The ICPC has vowed to thoroughly investigate the matter and take appropriate action against anyone found guilty of diverting funds meant for constituency projects.

Constituency projects are funds allocated to lawmakers by the federal government to implement development projects in their constituencies. The funds are meant to benefit the constituents, but allegations of diversion and misappropriation have been a recurring issue in the past.

The ICPC's investigation is seen as a step in the right direction to ensure transparency and accountability in the use of public funds.
